At what point does focusing on your finances/ER become counter-productive?

[thefed]

I seem to go in cycles. For a few months at a time, I just roll with the punches...and stick with my somewhat automated financial strategies. But then for months at a time, I am constantly thinking about my finances, investments, savings, ER goals, my current businesses' success, new possible income streams, etc. CONSTANTLY. Obsessing you might call it. I'm on the internet, often at this site, all day and night... usually until 3 in the morning.



After a few months though, I get so fed up with myself, the numbers and even the strain on my brain, that I just let it go.


Then the cycle continues
I cant see how this culd be healthy for me....and I know it's all mental....but I'm having a tough time finding the right balance of caring enough but not too much.

Does anyone else struggle with this?
